Here's a couple of Panoramas using 7 or so shots each. (Shots taken handheld using my compact Nikon 4100 camera)

Stiched using the free version of Autostitch

comments always welcome

(I know the 2nd one isn't level but it looses too much rotating it...lesson learned for next time)

You did a great job.

Were these so in portrait or landscape before you stitched them?

How many degrees for each view did you capture?

All landscape and just a handheld pivot round, not really measuring degrees.

I thought so. If you shoot portrait, you can grab more details down into the valleys between the mountains. It would also allow you to correct for the horizon tilt. It'd be better to use a tripod to avoid the horizon tilt, but...

Excellent work...

I keep wanting to get out and try this, but haven't managed to yet.

I am off out tonight for some moon scapes at a local seaside village type location, so might have a go!

if you can't bring a tripod, tie a string around the NPP (no parallax point) of your lens with a weight on it. Keep this centered over the same spot and just touching the ground as you rotate through the pano. And use a hotshoe level to keep the camera about level. (you generally don't need to look through the viewfinder).
